RapidForm is more expensive than GeoMagic, at least it was until GM
raised its price. I’ve pretty much given up working with MeshLab, after
spending a very frustrating afternoon trying to merge a couple very high
density meshes. Too many crashes and quirks. In the 3d Lab here at the
US Army Natick Soldier RDEC, we used CySlice and related software from
Headus (http://www.headus.com.au/home). Headus is run by Phil Dench &
Jill Smith (Perth, Australia) who started supporting Cyberware scan
merging & editing way back when (1995-ish). Phil’s software is very
useful and more-or-less user friendly (we call it Phil-friendly). He
uses his own flavor of PLY which cannot be read by MeshLab, kind of a
pain but we wrote a little converter we can share. His on-line & email
support is superb. Price is reasonable and within the range of most
grants. He has provided 30-day trials in the past. You may contact
Headus through the above link or Phil directly at
archit...@headus.com.au <http://mailto:archit...@headus.com.au>.
For full disclosure, I have an on-going contract with Headus to support
the software we purchased.
Cheers,
